About This Trail
Users have reported that the last portion of the trail is closed due to fire damage. This is one of the more popular hikes on Newfound Gap Road due to the spectacular views and short length, but that doesn't mean it's a must visit. The second mile is more steep than the first and the last mile is more elevation gain.
